Thirteen of the best homes for sale in NSW

By Pauline Morrissey and Lou Sweeney

Looking for your next home within NSW? We’ve got you covered.

34 Viret Street, Hunters Hill

There’s really nothing quite like the old dears. Refined and full of quiet composure, their bearing beautiful, their old bones sturdy and constant. It adds a whole other dimension if you have one like 34 Viret Street, Hunters Hill, sitting right on the water’s edge, the Lane Cove River a glorious frame.

McGrath’s Matt Ward says this beauty has been lovingly held in the same family since 1955.

“There have been some minor updates, but whoever buys here will love the originality. They’ll love it for what it is and where it is.”

You only have to look at the sublime covered verandah and its generous sweep around the north face to understand the easy grandeur. Water views abound, and the sun pours in; diamond light glinting and bouncing off the blue.

Everything here is in good order – pressed metal ceilings and marble fireplaces are gorgeous – but a little modernisation is required to bring things up to speed.

Outside there’s a handsome pool and level, grassy terraces take you to the waterfront, with your own jetty and pontoon.

“The sunshine here is amazing,” says Ward. “It could be the middle of winter and you wouldn’t know it.”

Resonating with an elegant New York flair, this warehouse-style abode, reimagined by Marco Meneguzzi, spotlights a central glass atrium that infuses every room with its radiant brilliance.

“As the day unfolds, a six-metre mirror perched above the al fresco atrium fireplace reflects evolving sunlight,” the agent says. “Further indulgence awaits in the refined quartz-stone kitchen, opulent master suite and rooftop terrace.”

Adorned with a romantic facade and a classic pitched roof, this Cape Cod-inspired home emits a sun-kissed allure with north-east-facing living zones creating a suntrap.

“Entertaining is a breeze on the deck and al fresco area equipped with a built-in barbecue, flowing from the kitchen and overlooking the garden-framed pool,” the agent says. “The upstairs master suite claims a private balcony with gorgeous views.”

65 Stanhope Road Killara

There’s plenty of space for the kids to roam and stretch out in this family entertainer on a generous 1220-square-metre block in Killara’s prime east.

Comfort and character echo throughout the home, which features cosy open fires. Four bedrooms share renovated bathrooms while outside, the barbecue area, garden terrace and resort-size pool are sure to be a hit.

18 Lentara Road Bayview

Among high-calibre neighbours lies this undercapitalised gem, a renovated 1960s timber cottage boasting unrivalled Pittwater panoramas.

“This prized property is poised for a remarkable reinvention, with commissioned designs by Koichi Takada Architects presenting a masterful home that befits its world-class setting,” the agent says. “Its current luminous living room is like a real-life canvas, featuring an ever-changing, yacht-speckled seascape.”

6 Pritchard Street, Marrickville

Step into a bygone era at this classic workman’s cottage. Its original wooden floors, high ceilings and beautifully restored fireplace create a time capsule of charm.

“The home’s original layout is very functional, yet with endless potential to create a modern family home,” the agent says. “For morning coffees, the sunny front courtyard will prove handy, and so too will the off-street parking – a true luxury for the area.”

22/4 Alexandra Drive Camperdown

An oasis of tranquillity, this unique apartment boasts a sun-soaked interior that effortlessly extends onto a generous loggia-style balcony.

“We purchased our home off the plan in 2001, drawn to its quiet ambience, square design and north-easterly aspect,” says the seller, Saba Ling. “With time, the surrounding trees have beautifully matured, bestowing our home with a level of serenity that exceeded our imagination.”

15 Shell Cove Lane Korora

Defined by its owner as the epitome of the Byron Bay lifestyle minus the price tag, this Mediterranean-style mansion takes advantage of its beachfront locale.

“With three pavilions, we love how you can have multiple guests all with their own private space, yet come together in beautiful communal spaces indoors or by the pool,” says the seller, Rowdy McLean. “There’s plenty of spots to relax or entertain, and always with ocean views.”

16 Wingecarribee Street Berrima

This refined residence exhibits a classic Georgian facade that befits its historic township, while a contemporary pavilion-style retreat rests at its rear.

“My favourite place to take in our beautiful home is on the deck at the end of the pool,” says the seller, Jess Hunter. “From here, you get a glimpse of the water, the architecture against the crisp blue sky, family playing, and the surrounding native landscape.”

1136C Kangaroo Valley Road Bellawongarah

Upon entering Womberoo, one is transported to a paradise-like haven, particularly when stepping onto the deck, with astonishing views of distant mountains.

“The vendor tells of the joy of getting the living room’s open fire going around 4.30pm, opening a bottle of red, then sitting on the lounge to watch the sunset while the fire is crackling,” says the agent. “Every minute spent at this hideaway is so profoundly serene.”

796 Grose Vale Road Grose Vale

Amid 2.8 hectares of bliss, history and nature harmoniously intertwine within Merindale, a captivating c1830 cottage awaiting a new chapter.

“Found within the home are timber-lined walls, soaring ceilings, and multiple fireplaces, exuding warmth and nostalgia,” says the agent. “Notably, the property holds the unique advantage of being heritage charm-filled, without the constraints of heritage listing restrictions.”

54 Hillcrest Road Yarramundi

Remarkably secluded yet conveniently accessible, every corner of this sprawling estate delights, with a magnificent manor and a vast shed attached to a self-contained studio.
